This experience stands out by offering a fully guided day at every main stop, including a professionally guided visit inside Rundale Palace Museum with an official certified palace guide, as required by the museum. Unlike many similar tours, the palace interiors are explored with a live guide rather than audio guides or self-guided visits, ensuring a deeper understanding of the site.
The tour is also distinguished by its smooth and well-organized structure. A lunch stop is pre-arranged by the guide after the palace visit, allowing travelers to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about logistics, while still choosing and paying for their own meal.
By combining expert guiding, cultural depth and careful planning, this tour delivers a more informative, comfortable and engaging full-day experience to the Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Bauska Castle from Riga.

5.00Great tour! The tour was well paced and the tour guide, Edite, was extremely knowledgeable. She was also just a pleasure to talk to about travel and she gave great restaurant recs. Highly recommend this tour if you are interested in getting out of Riga to see some of the countryside, a castle, and a beautiful palace.
Great daytrip

5.00We had a great time on our daytrip! Our guide Erlens was very knowledgeable not only about what we went to see that day, but also about the more general history of Latvia and the Baltics. As it was a small group, we had plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn more about anything from everyday life in Latvia to local culture and origins of the language. The timing of each stop was somewhat flexible based on the group's consensus (it was a very cold day so we spent less time e.g. in the Rundale castle gardens) and Erlens dropped us off directly at our hotel in the evening which was highly appreciated.
Cold....but an amazing day!

5.00This was an absolutely fantastic day. It was -21 when we left but the sun was out for us. We were greeted by our tour guide Erlens. What a great lovely guy. He started by greeting us and giving everyone refreshments. Maybe it was only a bottle of water, but it was a very thoughful gesture. Erlens was such a nice guy and So friendly. He was very informative and knowledgable, and quite clearly loves his job. He answered all questions fully and was very witty. The coach trip just flew by, and the visit to the hill of crosses, the palace and the castle was amazing. Erlans also gave us some local chocolate which was very nice of him. I cannot recommend this excursion enough, and if you are thinking of going with Erlens, dont think, just book. A special mention has to go to our driver, and the guide at Rundale Palace. He was absolutely fantastic and such a character. All in all, a brilliant day.
Incredible views with lots of art, culture and history.

5.00The tour was well planned and paced. All sites are worth visiting with incredible views and lots of art, culture and history. Erlens was our guide. He was excellent! He was very kind, respectful, and well informed. Although the Bauska Castle was closed on the day we visited (we knew about it beforehand as we checked the website, but that was the only date we had available), they made arrangements for us to be able to go inside and visit the medieval part of the castle. That was much appreciated!
Over and beyond our expectations

5.00This is a full day experience!! It was wonderful. The hill of crosses was overwhelming to see and hear the stories about. Rundale Palace (and our guide in the palace) was amazing!! The food in the palace was a 5 star experience!! Don't miss it. Bauska Castle was so fun to explore. Our guide and driver we had for the day was very knowledgeable and went out of their way to accommodate us. I would highly recommend this tour!! But we really think it was the guide/driver who made it memorable. Thank you so much to those two gentlemen

5.00Orlando (in Italian) was an outstanding guide and driver. Careful and prepared. He explained the history of the places visited in detail and available to answer our every curiosity. Importantly, we found for each participant a bottle of water, gave us a chocolate bar and made us taste the famous black Riga balm to end the day together. I recommend everyone to go hiking and experience with him. Thanks again for the day. Pietro and Valentina
Stress-free, interesting and insightful

5.00Tour with Erlens covered exactly what we wanted to see, but his commentary and structure made it so much better than we expected. Additionally, he takes care of every single detail, we didn’t have to worry about anything and he even had some surprises along the way. Highly recommend!
